This Shabbat was pretty laid back. Not so many people stayed so Friday night we had a more intimate dinner in the Moadon. Usually there are so many people that it's too loud to actually have a real conversation, but this week we were actually able to talk.
Today we had an even smaller lunch and then stayed for most of the rest of the day in the Moadon because it was really windy and even rained a little. Or's little sister came by with a Simpson's puzzle and we quickly took over after she got bored of with within five minutes.
It took us a few hours and we even had to keep going after Shabbat ended but we finally finished. You'll notice that there still a piece missing, that is what happens when you let Shoko help.
After Shabbat ended, we started getting ready for Lag BaOmer. Lag BaOmer is the 33rd day between Passover and Shavuot and for some reason no one quite explain to me, in order to celebrate, we light bonfires. Normally, I'd point out that this is probably a pagan custom that we appropriated, but I don't really care because bonfires are fun. Here's the beginnings of our's:
While our bonfire got started, Or took me and Mor all around Dimona to look at all the fires. This first picture is just a look from the village at the edge of the desert next to the city and I count around 10. On the other side there were about 20. On every corner there were bonfires. What a cool holiday!
When we got back for our bonfire tour of Dimona, we grabbed some bbq in the Moadon. Sadly, I have class tomorrow and can't stay out all night and sleep next to the bonfire like all the Israeli kids do. 
Shoko didn't want to go to bed either so I gave him a new bone to play with.
